Girl Skips School, Texts While Driving, Crashes Into Cop Car
In a scene we're 95-percent sure was ripped out of a movie made in the 1980s starring some combination of Matthew Broderick, Emilio Estevez, and Christina Applegate, a Tampa high school senior went for quite a ride last week.
ABC Action News reports that the girl, Katelyn Blaylock, never showed up at school last Wednesday morning. Instead, she was cruising around Tampa in her car and doing a little texting -- a combination that we've heard (over and over) is a wee bit dangerous. Of course, she wasn't in school, so how could she have known? She must have been surprised then when she slammed into the back of a freaking police car.
Miss Blaylock was cited for careless driving, and has to pony up about $3,000 for the damage to both vehicles. And she is sooooo getting grounded when her parents find out. [ABC Action News, Tampa]

This is just one more "stupid" in a world of them.
It's too bad if their insurance company has to pay for it. It wasn't an accident--it was stupidity. Yeah, I know--we don't have laws against stupitidy.
They should sue her & her parents--get a judgement and keep it on the books for the rest of her life, or-until it's paid off.

her mom was interviewed on tv saying her daughter is a good kid and was only going to get lunch. lol.. ok so your daughter or no one else got hurt but what if she killed someone? theres another 16 yr old girl who got away scot-free after running over a woman in the street, maybe b/c her daddy is super-rich.

If you ban it for them you ban it for all and once again you allow the government to control more of your life. Then we end up getting closer to a tyrant usa then youll be the one trying to find another place to live and be free.
Use your brain dont give up your rights.

The entire cell phone issue is unbelievably stupid!
I just cannot see why people cannot drive without finding the need to be on a telephone. I have seen people pulling out of their driveway while dialing on the cell. I something is that damn important, use the land line BEFORE you get into your car! How do these idiots think the human race has survived all this time without a cell phone and iPod?!
When I was growing up a mobile phone was the size of a suitcase and was basically just a radio transceiver. We had to do complex equations on a slide rule, today, most kids don't even know what that is. We actually had to learn how to tell time by the position of the big hand and little hand, we used dictionaries and encyclopedias, most kids today don't know how to use either one. Hell, even cashiers had to know how to figure out change rather than rely on what the LED tells you.
Okay, so I'm old, but none worse the wear for having to use my brain once in a while!

it is time to arrest these fool, why must all people be subjected to these dangerrous idiots?
paulMay 25th 2009 8:50PM
you cannot take phones away from this stupid teenagers who think that know all & can do all...what needs to be done is work with technology & make it so when they get into thier car the bluetooth connects & they have no need to hold the phone & on the same token, when the car is in motion make it so texting is not available unless they are in park. do this & things will be a whole lot better
